How to change your password (students)

Why do I need to change my password?

Passwords are often broken, stolen or cracked without the knowledge of the victim. For instance, this can happen as a result of a phishing email or through malware.
Very often stolen passwords are not used immediately. If you change your password regularly, even if your password is somehow stolen, the thief does not have the opportunity to use it.

You can use either method listed below to change your Trinity network login password.

How do I change (reset) my password?

1: Using Trinity MyPassword

MyPassword is a web-based service that Trinity students can use, it will allow you to change your MyZone password in tandem with your network login password.

You can use it from anywhere with internet access. It allows you to change your Trinity password, or to recover a password if you have forgotten it. To use the recovery service you must already be registered with the service.
